For the third consecutive year, 蹤獲扞⑹ ranks among the top five per cent of universities in the world and is the only Canadian university of its size to make the grade . 蹤獲扞⑹ finished in the group ranked between 801st and 1,000th out of the nearly 1,400 universities from 92 countries in the report.  

It is a tribute to our devoted faculty, dedicated students, diligent staff and committed supporters that 蹤獲扞⑹ continues to excel on the world stage, says 蹤獲扞⑹ President Dr. Daniel Weeks. It is fabulous to see 蹤獲扞⑹ increase its score in every category Times Higher Education uses to measure elite global universities.

蹤獲扞⑹ also scored noticeably better in the teaching pillar, which measures everything from the student-to-faculty ratio, the percentage of faculty with doctoral degrees and the universitys reputation for excellence in teaching. This year 蹤獲扞⑹ scored 19.3, up from 17.9 last year.

In the other two categories, international outlook and industry income, 蹤獲扞⑹ saw modest gains. International outlook, which looks at international staff, students and research collaborations, edged up to 37.3 from 37.1. Industry income, a metric of knowledge transfer, climbed to 34.8 from 34.4.
